Registered Nurse - Paediatric Emergency Department

You will be assisting in the delivery of a family-centered, clinically effective and dynamic service from the child/young person's admission to discharge.

You should be caring, compassionate, forward thinking, well organised and have a positive attitude towards flexibility and change. Within the Emergency Department we are willing to be flexible and accommodating to ensure you achieve a healthy work life balance. We would consider full and part time hours, flexible working and fixed patterns of working.

As part of our vision, we are looking to develop our team approach to ensure the provision of the highest quality care for our children/young people and their families.

You should be able to demonstrate a desire for personal and professional development. You will be supported by the practice development team in meeting your individual learning needs and if newly qualified, throughout the preceptorship programme.

If this role fits your profile, we would love you to join our team.

There's never been a more exciting time to join Team QEH. We're working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we've ever undertaken.

Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.

At the QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.

We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as 'Good', and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.

We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too.
